Google’s Reverse Image Search now pops up in Chrome

Google’s Reverse Image Search now pops up in Chrome | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"There are those times when a student wants to use and cite an image, but the original creator of the image and other important details are not exactly easy to identify.

Google’s reverse image search is a wonderful tool, but it’s a two-step process, requiring you to open Google and drag the image, or copy its URL into the search box with the little camera. (You could use the browser extension.)

Now, Google’s reverse image search feature is a bit more convenient."

Beth Dichter's insight:

Google has made it much easier to search for images now IF you are using Chrome as a browser. You can simply right-click on an image (or hold down control on a Mac) and wait for a box to come up and click search Google. Quick and easy....if you have the right browser!

What's Going On in This Picture? Learning about Visual Thinking Strategies

What's Going On in This Picture? Learning about Visual Thinking Strategies | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

The NY Times is beginning a new feature called "What's Going on in this Picture?" This post introduces Visual Thinking Strategies (V.T.S.).

"How do you make sense of what you see when you look at an image, especially if that image comes with no caption, headline, links or other clues about its origins? What can constructing meaning from an image teach you?"

While V.T.S. uses works of visual art, the NT Times will be using photojournalism and hosting an online discussion. On Monday they will post an image "with no caption, no headline and no helpful link back to an article." The goal is to answer "What's going on in this picture?" based on what you "can gather from the image itself."
For more information click through to the article.

Catfishing & Google Image Search by Image | The Daring Librarian

Catfishing & Google Image Search by Image | The Daring Librarian | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
Beth Dichter's insight:

The Daring Librarian has released a new "comic" that describes how to upload images in a Google Image Search as well as why this information may be important to you. She not only presents the visual (part of which is above) but also provides some additional links, and may introduce you to some new words, such as 'catfishing' (which is not fishing for catfish!). Along with the how to search and why to search she also provides an infographic that provides statistics on Real vs Fake Facebook pages that is an eye-opener.
